-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.7.6 "There"
+GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.0 "Pharmaceutical Itch"
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the
-0.7.x development series of the GStreamer Plugins.
-The goal of this release series is to stabilize towards a 0.8
-release series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases
-and hopefully eventually KDE 4.x.
+The GStreamer team is happy to announce the first release
+in the 0.8.x stable series
+of the GStreamer Plugins.
-0.7.6 is a Release Candidate for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.0
-It is released to shake out the last bugs that might be still present
-due to major/minor number differences.
+The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
+It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
+It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
-The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at developers.
-It is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series or
-with other releases in the series. This means you can not use this
-release to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and expect your
-GStreamer applications to keep working without a recompile.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
+This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding,
+conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media
+handling functionality to the core. You need the GStreamer core module
+to make them work. The versions do not need to match exactly, as long
+as all of them are in the 0.8.x series.
+
+
+The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module. If you
+want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this
+module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins. An FFmpeg-based colorspace
+element has been added to the Plugins however.
